FYI, the watch shop in Woodland Hills mall (the one by the food court, don't know about the other one yet) is amazing. There was an older guy in there who seemed pretty cool. I had him replace the batteries in a few of my watches and he mentioned that they could do my Casio Pathfinder Twin-Sensor. Well, he pulled the bracelet loose and saw that Casio (who I sent it in to change the battery last time - huge pain and you pretty much just hope they send it back to you as there wasn't any tracking) had jacked up my gasket and left it sticking out from behind the back of the case.
He asked me how I wanted to proceed and I told him that it was way out of warranty so just do the best he can (there are like 4 batteries in the Twin-sensor). He opened it up and it was full of corrosion from the leaky (out of place gasket). He cleaned it up the best he could and put it back together (and fixed the gasket as best he could) and it worked like a charm. All for $7 (per watch)!
He was super nice and very cool about the whole thing. He ended up doing 4 of my watches in under half an hour (with the Casio battery issue). Highly recommend that place.
